C. elegans ORFs

Dr. Marc Vidal's laboratory at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has generated the C. elegans Open Reading Frame (ceORF) clones representing over 10,000 worm genes1 . The ceORF collection is the leading resource for functionally characterizing the worm proteome through applications such as protein-protein interactions, RNAi and protein expression.

 
The ceORFs were generated by amplification from full length cDNA libraries and cloning into the Gateway2 recombinational cloning system (pDONR201). ceORF clones can be subcloned into any expression vector, using traditional restriction enzyme and ligase cloning methods. Alternatively, the recombinational cloning system allows the target gene to be rapidly transferred in-frame into a variety of expression vectors. Release 1.1 clones represent a pool of cloned products, thus multiple splice variants are preserved in each pool. The ceORF clones in Release 1.1 have been end sequence tagged3 (OST) to confirm the identity of the gene and the presence of at least one splicing event. Subsequent releases will be occurring as further refinements of the ceORF clones occur. This on-going process includes in-depth characterization by interaction mapping, RNAi screening and full insert sequencing. Watch our website for further details and links to these interesting projects.
ceORFs will be available in two different formats: glycerol stocks and spotted onto IsoCode® cards. The ceORFs spotted onto IsoCode® cards give you the freedom to store the clones at ambient temperature and use them directly in PCR, transformation and sequencing. Please email or call (888-412-2225) our Customer Service representatives if you would like the IsoCode® card format.

Benefits:
  • Coverage of greater than 60% of the C. elegans genome
  • Pools of cloned amplimers cover splice variants for a specific gene
  •  Continued characterization efforts expands the annotation
  • Optional delivery on IsoCode® cards enables you to store the clones at ambient temperature and provides a means for direct usage in PCR, transformation and sequencing.
 
Shipping Information:

C. elegans ORF-RNAi Collection

The C. elegans ORF-RNAi Collection1 includes clones containing full open reading frames for over 11,000 genes, ready for your RNAi screens! These clones are derived from the C. elegans ORFeome Library v1.1.  The C. elegans ORF-RNAi Library provides you comprehensive coverage for RNAi screening.
  • Full Coding Regions: From Start-to-Stop, the entire open reading frame is cloned into an RNAi feeding vector and compatible host.
  •  Feeding Ready: The cloned ORFs have been transformed into the RNAi feeding bacterial strain HT115(DE3)2 and the feeding vector, PL4440.
  • RNAi Versatility: Plasmid preps of the ORF-RNAi clones can be used as templates for in vitro dsRNA synthesis for soaking or injection
